Previously, with my Captivate and Eclair (2.1), the Q2 and Vlingo worked decently. Not totally handsfree, but usable. Was able to hear text and email through the headset. Was able to send text through the headset.

After updating to Froyo (2.2), nothing is coming through the headset. Vlingo only works when the Q2 is NOT connected (bluetooth can be on, but cannot be connected).

I can still answer/talk on phone with Q2, but that's about it. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have the blueant T1 and vlingo - initially had the same problem. Then discovered that some of my settings were not right. Under Voice Input & Output / Text-to-speech settings be sure to uncheck "Always use my settings." I also have "Driving mode" unchecked as all that is set up in vlingo.

I also found that if I have my bluetooth device connected to my phone and am in the the incar portion of Vlingo, I can say 'Hey Vlingo' and it will ask me what I would like to do. It recognizes my voice and responds thru the phone, not the BT device. Unfortunately once Vlingo starts listening for my command it no longer can listen thru the phone. I have to shut off BT before I can speak a command again. I don't see anywhere on the Vlingo website to ask them to fix this.

I got it to work. If you go into Vlingo>Settings>Advanced Settings and uncheck 'Listen Over Bluetooth' - Vlingo will listen using the phone's mic. Once Vlingo processes your command, the call will transfer automatically to your Bluetooth device. This even works if you have headphones plugged in.

Found correction for BlueAnt Q2 on Captivate. After connecting your Q2, go to Bluetooth Settings, selections OPTIONS for BlueAnt Q2 V1.0, unselect Media, then reselect Media. For some reason, this resets the media profile and allows commands to be heard and spoken through the Q2. Problem is, this has to be done everytime you connect your Q2.
